"The Project" Part One: The Beginning

Recently, I decided that I needed to hone my programming skills, so I've decided to take it upon myself to create a translation management system (TMS). There are so many translation tools out there, and I'm going to want this one to stand out among them. Right now, it's still in the planning phase (as in I'm planning to do it, but I'm still trying to work out where to begin). So far, I've had a couple of suggestions, but any more would be helpful. Any suggestions?

Ideas so far (mine and others'):
  • An updated design/user interface.
  • Purchase Order (PO) creation, or a way to access the information in order to create POs.
  • Very customizable filters for XML and zipped XML formats, as well as regular expression filters for plain text formats, and filter chains.
  • Customizable locales.
  • Customizable segmentation.

Do you have any other ideas? Leave them in the comments!
